Sediment is not well recognized as a natural resource, compared with, for instance, forest and water. Sediment is also an important constituent of the environment but is not fairly acknowledged. In this paper, we identify benefits derived from sediment as a natural resource as well as a constituent of the environment. Problems caused by sediment movement are also located in various environmental settings. Then, we review an effective analytical framework of sediment movement and give research perspectives on sediment and its movement as natural resources and environment.
